The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Cubelles (Barcelona)

Cubelles led the province of Barcelona with 25 seconds of totality while holding, at the same time, the worst horizon and the worst sky statistics of the three municipalities in the band: 1.9 degrees of ground standing between it and the Sun, nearly half the available margin since the disc stood at 4 degrees, and a 41.9 per cent clear-day share for this date, against the 42.8 per cent of Castellet i la Gornal.

That it led anyway comes down to how the index is built: duration carries 40 per cent, horizon 30 per cent and climate the remaining 30, and here the duration was two and a half times that of Vilanova i la Geltrú, 4.3 kilometres away. The result was 51.7 points. At 40 metres of average elevation and with 30.8 per cent on the rain indicator, the best of the three, totality ran from 20:29:25 to 20:29:50. The climate series covers 1996 to 2025 and does not describe that evening.
